The Mystery of Qixia Chapter 21 The North of the Village
The little girl sat in front of the door and watched the scenery for a while. She wondered why all the flowers and plants outside the house had withered, and why she hadn't seen anyone else all this time.
Grandma said that winter is like this, and it will not be like this when spring comes.
This time, however, it was colder than previous winters. She remembers the winter, when everyone gathered around the house, arguing or laughing.
After sitting for a long time, Grandma said that it was time for her to go back to the house and lie down and rest. Niannian wants to play with friends, she doesn't like to hide in the house, although her body still hurts everywhere.
So she held her cheeks and looked into the distance, so she didn't care how Grandma told her to go back to the house. On the path shaded by withered vines in front, two figures slowly approached. What kind of person is that? a ...... with a lot of strength, a thick voice, and a beard
"Ahh
It was as if her body no longer belonged to her, and some things that she had forgotten suddenly reappeared in front of her eyes, enveloping her whole body. The cold was about to lose its senses, as if it were touching the river under the ice.
……
"This girl is a little scared. ”
Regarding the old scholar's explanation, Luo Qian smiled and didn't intend to ask too deeply.
The crying in the back room rang out for a long time, and the old woman kept coaxing the little girl after she took her in, but to no avail.
That night, Luo Gan decided to say goodbye to the old scholar.
simply packed up his things, but was stopped by the old scholar when he left. He knew that Luo Gan's fall was not light, and he came over with medicinal oil and wanted him to apply some more medicine.
And there is no need to leave at night in a hurry, "The night in the village is not safe, you are a foreigner, if you are really in a hurry to leave, it is better to leave at dawn." ”
"I know, sir. "The cold medicated oil applied to the bruised areas on the legs really relieved the pain a lot.
The old scholar found it difficult to understand, and the road at night could not be seen clearly, and many terrible and disgusting "monsters" would emerge. This young man fell down the slope, didn't he see those "monsters"?
"Then if you see something that moves, get out of the way. Or I'll get you an axe......"
"No, no, no, what is it. Don't worry, I'm not afraid of these corpses!"
Hearing the word "corpse", the old scholar couldn't help but shudder. Luo Gan was shocked to realize that he was speechless, and he hurriedly sped up the action of rubbing the medicine, preparing to leave here as soon as possible.
"What are you doing in the village?" the old scholar never met those monsters, and even during the day, he didn't bother to look at the corpses on the side of the road.
Luo Qian followed Ning Zhi to "save Sanli Village", but he never knew what he could do. Faced with this question, do you have to answer, "I am here to save you"?
Obviously, it is better not to give hope until everything is not certain. "I was going to Shangyuan, but I was driven here by a wild wolf. I thought I could beg for saliva to drink, but I didn't expect ......"
The old scholar lowered his head, "You are not from Sanli Village, you should be able to leave the village, hurry up." Those monsters are actually very slow, so you just have to run fast when you touch them. It's actually nothing if they really want to be caught, their bodies are very soft, and they can be beaten directly, it's just a big smell and disgusting!" he said, and couldn't help but smile.
"It's to hide from a white-haired one," the old scholar had also seen a white-haired monster flying onto the roof. However, the white-haired monster didn't attack him, but he wasn't sure if the reason why the white-haired monster didn't attack him was because he didn't see him, "Just run quickly, this village is terrible." I'm running out of food!"
The most important thing is that the food was snatched away by the gang in the north of the village.
Luo Gantou left the old scholar's house without looking back, and from beginning to end, they did not exchange names. Who knows if there's a next time we'll meet?
As an ordinary person, even if he had all the pity in his heart, he could only leave here first. Only by finding Ning Zhi can he know what is the most effective thing to do.
And the old scholar sat in the room for a long time, and the surroundings were dark, in fact, he was used to it. When I got up, I wanted to go to bed and fall asleep, but I touched something square. It was like a quilt, quite thick to the touch, and it was obviously not stuffed with hay.
With a thought, he carried the quilt to the old woman's house. Later, according to the old woman, she and Nian Nian were very warm, and asked him what was stuffed inside.
How did the old scholar know? After all, this was the stuff left by the young man.
The young man should have left the village and ran as fast as he said.
Luo Gan did run very fast, and went directly to the north of the village in one breath.
To the north of the village is a hillside planted with many old trees, and through the woods, you can see the fence on the opposite side and the bonfire blazing in front of the house.
At this time, people should be asleep. The campfire was actually a kind of demonstration, and the people who lived here were afraid of both wild beasts and monsters that roamed at night.
Their innate fire may no longer be as bright as it used to be, so they can only rely on the fire from the mortal world to drive away the darkness.
Luo Qian looked at the peaceful gathering area opposite, as if he could smell the fragrance on their dinner table and feel the warmth in their room.
couldn't help but be distracted for a while, he was thinking about what would have happened if Dong Daniu hadn't died that day?
Maybe ...... "Luo Gan?"
He turned, and two figures tumbled out of the low grass. "Why did you come here? I've been looking for you over there for a long time!"
Ning Zhi patted the ash on his body and walked over, he took Xiao Ku and the white-haired monster in circles, and finally got rid of it. But he found that he couldn't find Luo Gan! Even the person who was carrying the things that Luo Gan was responsible for carrying was gone.
If it weren't for that, he would have come to the north of the village long ago - this is what he found by observing the activities of the white-haired monsters, who do not go to the north of the village. More precisely, the white-haired monsters are deliberately avoiding the north of the village, and they have a greater appetite for the corpses that gather in the north of the village.
There was a "line of defense" posed by skeletons at the bottom of the slope, and Ning Zhi watched the white-haired monster bite the corpse here.
He also thought that Luo Gan would become one of them.
But now it seems that Luo Gan is not in any serious condition except for the dizziness of his head and the breaking of a few skins. Ning Zhi's things are still there, they are all small things, and it is convenient to carry them around. should be glad that the ghost altar is in his hands, otherwise let Luo Gan roll like this, but he will not be able to find his whereabouts.
They meet again by accident and discover that their goals are similar.
"In that case, let's stay here for now. ”
It is better to visit after dawn.
"There's a dirt hole down there, go in and hide from the wind, and you have a quilt - hey, where is your quilt?"
Luo Gan walked forward, and sure enough, he saw a round black hole covered by weeds. "What kind of quilt do you want? Nest in the grass all night, still afraid of the cold?"
That being said, Xiaoku's girl's house has a lot of inconvenience with them, and she used to cover her with a quilt. Ning Zhi grabbed a little corner to comfort his soul, and Luo Gan relied on his integrity.
Ning Zhi estimated that he had lost it, gritted his teeth and looked hateful, and pulled Xiao Ku and followed. The hole was small, like a collapsed slope formed naturally, and it was barely squeezed, but the feet still stretched out.
Xu smelled the strong smell of medicine on Luo Gan's body, he felt a little uncomfortable and pushed Luo Gan, and when he heard an oops, Luo Gan fell to the side, "What are you squeezing me for!"
"Tuk-" he propped himself up on top of something that seemed to be a plank. Startled, he rubbed it and knocked it a few more times.
It was a wooden plank, embedded in the ground, covered with a lot of dead grass and dirt, but it was also the case elsewhere.
